302 Gordon Palmer HallTitle: Phantom Traffic Jams, Autonomous Vehicles, and the Future of Traffic Modelling Abstract: Initially homogeneous vehicular traffic flow can become inhomogeneous even in the absence of obstacles. In this "phantom traffic jam'' phenomenon, small perturbations grow into traffic waves, called “jamitons”. Via the mathematical analysis of traffic models, we demonstrate that phantom jams can arise from
